This is being played at test match intensity.

Wexford1996 · May 11, 2019, 4:33pm

There’ll be a lot of sore bodies tomorrow. Some break by Kearney.

anon32894817 · May 11, 2019, 4:33pm

Start lumping on Munster plus 9 now.

Fagan_ODowd · May 11, 2019, 4:33pm

Embarrassed for Saracens seeing Kearney glide past them.

Fagan_ODowd · May 11, 2019, 4:35pm

We’ll be going to uncontested scrums soon.

Tass

The bantz in Newcastle upon Tyne today must be wonderful .

“They call him the jukebox because he keeps playing the hits.” Someone on C4.

Two lads in crowd wearing Munster jerseys

Sure what would you expect from event junkies.

dodgy_keeper · May 11, 2019, 4:45pm

Was it your man banned from Irish Independent and Thomond Park?

anon32894817 · May 11, 2019, 4:45pm

Jack Conan is useless

Tim_Riggins · May 11, 2019, 4:45pm

Close enough to capacity. The first final Tim has missed because of duties in the homeland.

anon32894817 · May 11, 2019, 4:46pm

Braindead from luke McGrath

Fagan_ODowd · May 11, 2019, 4:47pm

Not full though. So 51k is total demand. I’d assume that’s about 1/20 of demand for the soccer equivalent

anon32894817 · May 11, 2019, 4:50pm

Luke McGrath hang your head in shame

Tim_Riggins · May 11, 2019, 4:50pm

Not correct.

The CL final never sells out a stadium.

Mostly due to corporates.

It is clearly a problem that European rugby has a top team in the form of Saracens though.

Fagan_ODowd · May 11, 2019, 4:52pm

Ah no I’m correct. 100%. Still it’s not a bad effort to get 51k to travel to a dump like Newcastle.

flattythehurdler · May 11, 2019, 4:52pm

Newcastle is a grand spot.
